Wednesday's Outfit: A Mixed Bag

This certainly isn't my favorite ensemble—love each and every piece on its own, but together? Oy vey, not so much. Whatever. Happens to all of us. But listen to this: I'm standing on the subway platform this morning, and a woman walks by, giving me the up-and-down. She then stops and approaches. "Do you have a house in East Hampton?" she asks. My family does, I reply, trying not to look too stunned or frightened. "You had a yard sale in June." I most certainly did, and I knew exactly what was coming next:" I almost bought those shoes"! she squealed, pointing at my feet. I smiled. Then we exchanged email addresses so I might invite her to the next one. There's nothing like great shoes to bring people together.
